If ever there was a MUST game for the Rangers to win it's tonight's Garden clash with the Bruins. We're talking about the New Yorkers staying alive in a playoff race where even a point is insufficient.

David Pastrnak has been on absolute fire as of late and actually recorded his 18th career hat trick in Saturday’s game against the Rangers. Pastrnak had six shots on goal in that game and is averaging 4.06 per game this season. The Rangers surrender the fourth-most shots against per game; Pastrnak should get his looks.

The Bruins baby-faced forward was buried from behind into the boards by a cross-check to the lower back from Ryan Lindgren in the first period of Boston’s 6-3 win at TD Garden Saturday.
